My recent D.A.R. magqazine "American Spirit" has the following paragraph:

"The namesake of the Mary Tyler Chapter, Tyler, Texas, was born in York County, VA in 1791. Mary Margot Armistead Tyler was the daughter of Robert Booth Armistead, a prominent planter and his wife, Anne. Mary was descended from the Margot family of Huguenots who immigrated to the colonies in 1700. When she was 16 years old, she married Johy Tyler, who served as governor of Virginia from 1808-1811. During their 20-year marriage, she had five daughters and three sons. Their sixth child and second son, John Tyler, named after generations of Tyler men before him, became the 10th president of the United States. He was only 7 years old when Mary died of a paralytic stroke in 1797. She is buried in Virginia."

I am not researching these people, and have no further information.
